Photography

I love taking photos. You will rarely see me without my camera around my neck.

This can be annoying for the captain on the boat when it is time to tack or jibe, and I have to first remove the camera and place it below deck or have someone run it below for me. This is especially annoying to him when he must tack or jibe NOW because the depth has suddenly dropped to 5′4″ and your boat drafts 5′. Hold your horses, Captain Bligh, I don’t want to scratch my len.

Although it is a pain (oh! my! GOSH mom, stop with the pictures already!!), I think everyone in my family appreciates the fact that one day, they will have lots of images to go through and remember all the fun we had. Well, maybe Quinn won’t appreciate the ones of him clad only in ducky rain boots (especially if they are included in a slideshow at his wedding rehearsal dinner) but for the most part I hope they will love having those memories caught and preserved for generations to come.

EDIT: Okay, so I started this post to write specifically about something, and I chickened out. It just felt boastful and weird when I typed it. But, here goes…I am being paid to take pictures now. I am working freelance. They call me, tell me where, when and what they want, and I go take some pictures for them! So, I am actually getting paid for doing what I love! It is perfect for our family schedule. Not to mention how fun it is to see pictures that I took in print! So, that is my little announcement. Carry on…..
